Plot

A multi-dimensional interface between comic book artist Emma Boyles (drawing Deacon's reality), novelist Michelle (writing Boyles' reality), and film director Edward Deacon (filming Michelle's reality). Each lives in a separate reality but authors a story about one of the others.

Emma working at a sex doll factory in Toronto fantasize about having larger breasts undergoes augmentation surgery and regret her choice.

Edward has a big Spanish penis that Emma makes small because of her frustration at not having the money to have her implants removed.
